Due to high fuel consumption, diesel engines soon became available in this range of trucks. The B36 was discontinued in 1973, although it was no longer used in trucks after 1966. It was the last petrol truck engine built by Volvo and the only V8 engine used in any vehicle, except for the newer Yamaha-built units used in the Volvo XC90 and S80.
Volvo Cars has a long reputation as a maker of inline (or straight) engines. This list of Volvo engines gives an overview of available internal combustion engines. When Volvo started in 1927, they ordered their engines from the engine manufacturer Penta in Skövde. The first engine was the inline four-cylinder side valve 28 hp (21 kW) Type DA ...
The medium-duty 1930 A-series trucks received the all-new 278.7 cu in (4.6 L) FB-3 six-cylinder engine, with overhead valves and seven main bearings. This was complemented by larger versions of the same engine and was built until late 1940 (as the FBB), [7] the line-up being expanded downward by the smaller FA-series (later FAB) in 1933. [8]
Although out of production, this was the biggest three-cylinder engine ever made for a car. Applications: 1986—1989 Alfa Romeo 33 Series II 73 PS (54 kW) at 4,200 rpm and 178 N⋅m (131 lb⋅ft) at 2,400 rpm [5] 1990.01—1995 Alfa Romeo 33 Series III 84 PS (62 kW) at 4,200 rpm and 178 N⋅m (131 lb⋅ft) at 2,400 rpm [6]
The 3.0-litre design, known as the Gen III, superseded the 2.7-litre, and uses turbochargers on a series-sequential system and has an uprated common rail injection system incorporating fuel injectors with piezo crystals fitted nearer to the tip to reduce engine noise and a metering mode to reduce oversupplying fuel, decreasing fuel consumption ...
The engine block and associated components for the USA market Isuzu G-series engines were locally produced under license by a GM engine casting and assembly plant in Flint, Michigan. In South America an overhead-cam version was adapted, and later developed into a 1599 cc version with a 75.7 mm stroke. [18] 82 mm (3.2 in) 66.2 mm (2.61 in)
The M35 series was used by the United States in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. M35 series vehicles were known to be in use by National Guard units as late as the mid-2000s. In order to replace its 1950s vintage M135 fleet, the Canadian Army adopted licensed versions of the M35 (and M36 variant) built in Canada by Bombardier in 1982. As of ...
For example, a reciprocating engine achieves maximum efficiency when the intake air is unthrottled and the engine is running near its peak torque. The efficiency often reported for a particular engine, however, is not its maximum efficiency but a fuel economy cycle statistical average. For example, the cycle average value of BSFC for a gasoline ...
